Politicians of other counties are
getting lined up for office and in
some of the exchanges that come
to us , candidates announce their
candidacy by notices in the paper.
We counted 12 such notices of per
sons expecting to be nominated
for some office by the republicans
of Rock county 3 for county clerk ,
2 for county treasurer , S for sheriff ,
3 for assessor and 2 for county
superintendent , and the end is not
yet. There may be an hundred
more who are either too timid or
of the kind that would like to have
an office but are willing to stand
back when a greedy set get to the
front. Wouldn't it be a good time
to switch down in that-county and
elect a full set of good clean demo
crats ?

For when they're in war dress , in
in beads and in leather ,
Arrayed for their dance packed
closely together ,
Their wild cunning ways and the sangs
that they sing ,
Brings back the time when the red
man was king ;
Was king and the ruler of this beau
tiful land ,
When all the things bowed to his
own dusky hand ,
Though our country has advanced in
many away.
They are still here to remind us of
that wild yesterday.

Atdiison Globe.
Chauncey W. Phipps , formerly
principal of the Chadron City
school and later editor of the Chad-
ronian , was drowned last Thursday
evening north of Crawford near
the B. & M. R. R. by a big tidal
wave of water caused by a cloud
burst , sweeping down over the
prairie where he and two compan
ions were camped. One of the
young men ran for a horse that he
had lauriated near camp and cut
ting the rope , jumped on the horse
and rode as fast as he could go to
get out of the way of the wave or
wall of water which overtook them
regardless of their efforts. The
man riding the horse jumped into
the water because his horse seemed
helpless , and swam out. When
last he saw of Phipps he had got
ten on to some bridge timbers and
was floating along apparently se
cure , but he was likely hurled into
the water as the currents united
and was found dead some distance
below. He was taken to Chadron
where funeral services were held
Saturday , and Sunday he was
shipped to Franklin , Xebr. , the
home of his people for interment.
